Power delay profile (PDP) similarity measurement and reporting

A receiver device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• one or more transceivers;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, configured to:
• receive, via the one or more transceivers, from a network entity, a request to report a power delay profile (PDP) similarity metric for a first positioning frequency layer on a first component carrier and a second positioning frequency layer on a second component carrier;
• determine a first PDP for a first reference signal received on the first positioning frequency layer and a second PDP for a second reference signal received on the second positioning frequency layer;
• determine the PDP similarity metric based on the first PDP and the second PDP;
• and
• transmit, via the one or more transceivers, to the network entity, the PDP similarity metric.

A receiver device, comprising:

• means for receiving, from a network entity, a request to report a power delay profile (PDP) similarity metric for a first positioning frequency layer on a first component carrier and a second positioning frequency layer on a second component carrier;
• means for determining a first PDP for a first reference signal received on the first positioning frequency layer and a second PDP for a second reference signal received on the second positioning frequency layer;
• means for determining the PDP similarity metric based on the first PDP and the second PDP;
• and
• means for transmitting, to the network entity, the PDP similarity metric.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a receiver device, cause the receiver device to:

• receive, from a network entity, a request to report a power delay profile (PDP) similarity metric for a first positioning frequency layer on a first component carrier and a second positioning frequency layer on a second component carrier;
• determine a first PDP for a first reference signal received on the first positioning frequency layer and a second PDP for a second reference signal received on the second positioning frequency layer;
• determine the PDP similarity metric based on the first PDP and the second PDP;
• and
• transmit, to the network entity, the PDP similarity metric.
